Looks like the Secret Service won’t be enough to protect President Obama while he’s in India. So the Indian government has unleashed its own team of security experts – the Simian Service.
The Times of India has the details of the deployment:
Eighty-foot-high towers being built around the ridge area in the capital are not just being erected for the security of US President Barack Obama but also to keep the monkeys in the vicinity at bay, police said.
Obama will be visiting the national capital on November 8-9 and will be staying at ITC Maurya hotel, situated near the ridge area where the monkey population is high.
“As several incidents of monkey-menace have been reported from the area, we are keeping a watch on the simians,” a police officer said.
He also said that trained monkey-catchers will also be deployed.
For god’s sake, man, if they’re this worried about the trained monkeys, what can they possibly do about the untrained monkeys?
